To remove the hard drive from a Dell Latitude, look at the side directly OPPOSITE of the I/O jacks (Headphone, mic, input/aux) side. You will see one small screw in the middle of a tray. Once you remove this screw, you will be able to pull this tray (hard drive caddy) out from the laptop. The hard drive will be in this tray. If you are replacing your hard drive, remove screw(s) on the bottom of the tray to remove the hard drive from the tray and be sure to also remove the interface adaptor, attached to the pin end of the old hard drive and place on new hard drive.

On the bottom of the laptop there should be four screws un screw those and take the cover off next take the keyboard and top covering off then carfully remove the hard drive which should be loacted near one of the fans.

You do know only certain models have an os image on their harddrive and it is this that is enabled with F9 whilst booting (or other key)Failing this you will just have to install from external Dvd/Cd rom etc-this is the fact.

New hard drives need to be formatted! So go into the control panel switch to classic view, ( if you are still using category view for the control panel ) open administrative tools, then open computer management. Next open disk management. In disk management your new drive will show as raw, you will be give the option of formatting the drive, select primary partition and format in NTFS.
This will then format the drive, when this has finished your new drive will appear in my computer.

Try to connect and external keyboard to it
with the external monitor.
If the shortcut is in the keypads where most off the beer propably came in contact.
will now be seen if its boots up.
If it boots up with external keyboard the ptoblem is in the beer soaked keyboard.
change or clean the keyboard with isoprophanol
to dissolve moisture and beer.
This is the solution. Please vote!!!
